KEEPING MY SANITY

| | |

I believe that many people have reasons why they write in diaries/journals/blogs.:P Hey, I can even list some of those here pretty easy: 1."I just love writing. It's my hobby." 2.I think too much. If I don't do something really constructive and productive about it, I am afraid that my poor head will soon explode!*big evil grin* 3."I write better than I talk, and I don't feel like wasting other people's precious time listening (and waiting impatiently) to my stutterings. That's awfully embarrassing!" 4."Not everybody in the world can always accept brutal honesty. That's what I am truly aware of." 5."I feel that the world is slowly lacking sympathy.:( Still, you know what to do when nobody bothers to at least spend a little time to listen to your problems." 6."I can be my own heroine in my own storybook!";D 7.... ...and the list could go on forever. However, I'd like to sum it all up with my own reason these days: "This is my way of keeping my sanity." ......................... *big evil grin* Yes, people. That's right. I am seriously addicted to writing. This has been my therapy. You may and may not like what I write in here. That is truly up to you. Besides, I am just here to present my point of view. So, welcome to my world. The Author

CHANGES...

5/4/2008

Changes happen everytime. Some are good or for the better, while others may be bad or for the worse. Sometimes we're ready to accept, but other times - it just takes a lot in us to anticipate and adjust. Well, that's just life. It's normal, because each of us has a different level of adaptation.
How do we usually deal with changes? Do we just simply accept everything as it is without questions? Do we feel burdened and wish to avoid even the unavoidable changes?
Unconsciously, we often take so many things for granted. We let the stagnation give us comfort. We tend to think that everything will last forever. We even want to believe that and keep it for as long as possible. True, some good, comforting things are hard to let go. But we also don't really know what we've had until it's already long gone.
Changes relate to a lot of things around us. They all come in different shapes, sizes, and even speed. Sometimes they're already there, but it takes some time for us to finally realize and accept their presence. Sometimes we can't hardly wait for them to come. Sometimes, we don't even want them at all.
We may have already experienced a lot of changes in our lives, but do we ever really take a little time to just be still - and look around with more than just our eyes to see? Do we like what we see? If not, how do we face it wisely?
Changes are often unavoidable. But still, I think it's okay for us to want to have some things stay the same. Some precious things are worth the extra effort. But if we can't keep them in our hands for as long as possible, then it's just as good to cherish them while they're still there. They can be our favourite things, people we love, or even just...time. Remember, comfort zone doesn't always last that long. Take your time and make the most of it.
Sometimes, it's okay to stop looking forward and worrying about what may come ahead. It's also useless to keep regretting what's already done behind our backs. But it's not wrong to always remember. After all, life is just our eternal lesson.
Sometimes, it's necessary to just shut our eyes from other things happening in this chaotic world for a while. Let the drastic changes come abruptly, threatening to crush our concrete-selves within like tsunami waves, while we're focusing on what's still present. It's time to live in the now.
It's called taking a short break from reality.
